Equipment used to create Panasonic FZ30 macro galleries...
Panasonic FZ30 features a Leica designed 12x zoom lens, 35mm equivalent of 35 to 420mm. The small sensor works as an advantage to give much needed depth of field at high magnifications
Raynox DCR-250 Achromatic close up lens has a diopter of +8, a very powerful close up lens. This lens easily clips on to the front of the camera and is razor sharp.
Focus tip: Set camera on manual focus. This lens will always focus around 4 inches. The zoom power will control the amount of magnification. Rock the camera back and forth slightly on the monopod. I find it easier to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD screen for focusing.
Sunpak 383 flash features 5 output levels and the head tilts and rotates.
Exposure tip: Set camera on manual exposure mode. Stop down to f11, shutter speed 1/200. Adjust output of flash for proper exposure.
